What To Review

Recurring System Signals

Build the experience as an index, dossier, or ledger rather than a promotional portfolio.

Component Rules FAQ

What should I study on this page?

Compare how teams define reusable components, state logic, emphasis levels, and naming conventions so implementation becomes less ambiguous.

Why browse this as a dedicated DESIGN.md collection?

A focused collection makes it easier to compare how teams describe one system concern consistently across many examples instead of mixing unrelated signals on a single page.
